2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHot Off The Press Tar Heel State Poll-HRC -59% SBS 26% MOM 5%
On the Democratic side Hillary Clinton remains dominant with 59% t0 26% for
Bernie Sanders, and 5% for Martin O'Malley. The North Carolina numbers speak
to the demographic advantages that may cause things to work out fine for Clinton
even if she does struggle in Iowa and New Hampshire. Among African
Americans, which are about a third of the primary electorate in North Carolina,
Clinton leads Sanders 77/12 with O'Malley getting 2%. Clinton's favorability with
black voters is 81/11, compared to 43/20 for Sanders. That overwhelming
advantage with black voters should make the South a very strong region for
Clinton as the race moves to its states. Clinton is also benefiting from having
much more committed support- 78% of her supporters say they are definitely
going to vote for her, compared to 50% of Sanders' who say the same.
African American voters in the South may be Hillary Clintons saving grace,
said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. Shes dominant with
them and that should allow her to rack up some easy victories in March.
